Whirring / Ticking sound when Idling?
I'm updating this because I realized something new.
I have a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant and recently it started making a whirring sound with a sort of tick to it when it is idling. It stays the same while coasting, but when I accelerate, the sound becomes faster.
Another thing I noticed just before it started making this sound is that the ride became a bit jerkier than usual. Pick up and coasting slightly less smooth.
Would this be a problem with one of the belts? Any insights? All help appreciated!
